Prayer times in Providence — common questions
What time is Fajr in Providence today?
Fajr in Providence begins at 05:22 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.
Which direction is the Qibla from Providence?
From Providence, the Qibla is 336.4° from true north — roughly NNW. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.
Which calculation method is used for Providence?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Mauritius. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.
How much does daylight change through the year in Providence?
Day length in Providence ranges from about 10.9 hours at midwinter to 13.4 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 2.5 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of Providence?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Providence's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
